    SubjectRe: Atmel at76c50x PCMCIA 2.6.6 kernel panic
    Dear Simon,

    Is this patch still necessary? It wasn't merged in with 2.6.7 and I
    haven't noticed it in the 2.6.8-rc1 changelog either. I'd test it
    myself, but I don't have access to a wireless access point at the
    moment.

    Cheers,
    Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
